Brick by Brick, xsite Gallery, Newcastle

Brick by Brick: An exhibition of small-scale wall drawings by 25 artists.

25 artists have been invited to make a wall drawing.

All the wall drawings will occupy the same wall.

Each artist will be asked to pick a number at random from a selection of 1-25. That number will dictate which row of bricks on the wall they will work on.

There will be only one artist per row.

Each artist will then chose a specific brick on that row to work on.

Each artist must work within the space of a single brick.

Each artist must work directly onto or into the wall.

Each artist may work using any medium.

All works are to be completed by December 14th 2009.

All works are temporary.

The Spaces Between

The Spaces Between

36 Lime Street Gallery and Studios,
Newcastle upon Tyne

Saturday 17th - Sunday 24thOctober



"...truth can neither be apprehended nor communicated...history is an art like all other sciences."
Cicely Wedgwood (1960), English Historian






The Spaces Between is a show of new, site-responsive drawing and paintings by the Newcastle based artist Iris Priest.




The work in the show seeks to establish a poetic archaeology of the space at 36 Lime Street, exploring its history and past incarnations, as recorded through the archives, newspaper stories and rumour.




By avoiding elevating or giving authority to any one of these sources, Priest attempts to distill a history which is at once factual, fantastical, personal and metaphorical. The work hints towards the presence of absence, and the presence of unknowable history.
